cretinbob:mrlewish: I don't think Mr. McCartney needs to take the farmers advise on how to run a business.

You don't know much about Beatles history, do you.

He'd be richer than Bill Gates if they had made better business decisions.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Paul McCartney is a very rich man. If he never worked again, he still has more money than he can spend before he dies. And he has all that money while pretty much getting to choose what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. So, why would he give up getting to live the way he wants and choose the things he wants for even more money that he will never be able to spend before he dies? How would that improve his life?

LENNON: "Sean and I were away for a weekend and Yoko came over to sell this cow and I was joking about it. We hadn't seen her for days; she spent all her time on it. But then I read the paper that said she sold it for a quarter of a million dollars. Only Yoko could sell a cow for that much." (laughter)

PLAYBOY: "For an artist, your business sense seems remarkable."

ONO: "I was doing it just as a chess game. I love chess. I do everything like it's a chess game. Not on a Monopoly level... that's a bit more realistic. Chess is more conceptual."

Barricaded Gunman:red5ish: His son, for a 35-year old, looks like he has some hard miles on him.

I imagine he's led a difficult life.

No he got the short end of the gene stick. James McCartney looks like the wrong parts of both his parents. I'm the same age as he is, I look to be about 45 and I still look twenty years younger than he does.

The question was about business decisions, not how much money he has.See Northern Songs and Apple (the original)Se him lose control of his songs and the royalties they generate.Yeah as he got older he wised up and was able to pull it back together, but he had to make some big mistakes along the way.

The Northern Songs debacle was a lose-lose situation for him. He tried to do the right thing and bring Yoko in on the deal so he wouldn't be seen as stealing all their song rights, but she dragged her feet trying to lowball, which allowed MJ to screw them both over by swooping in and paying about triple the original amount asked. If anything, it was Yoko who screwed it all up.

Yup... That's my understanding. Had John been alive they'd own there stuff today.
